Your Brain at Work: iBrain

An interview with Gary Small, M.D.

How your brain and the brains of your coworkers are remapping, retooling, and evolving.

"The explosion of digital technology is changing the way we live and communicate and is rapidly and profoundly altering our brains. Because of the daily exposure to high technology, our brains are evolving right now--at a speed like never before. This process has emerged over a single generation. Not since early man first discovered how to use a tool has the human brain been affected so quickly and so dramatically. Today, we are witnessing the beginning of a deeply divided brain gap between younger and older minds--in just one generation."
